Nights of our Lives

Nights of our Lives

On the last Wednesday of every month, some of the funniest writers in New York get together at the UCB Theater in New York City to let you know about the nights of their lives - those nights that stand out a cut above the rest, that left behind stories so full of hilarity and wonder that they're worth sharing.

"Think Chicken Soup for the Soul, only funny and not uplifting." - New York Magazine

"The funniest night in New York." - Metro

"Seriously, Nights of Our Lives is the best five bucks you will ever spend." - Jane Magazine

“The Nights of Our Lives” has found its niche as a go-for-broke celebration of unforgettable nights, or rather, nights we’d like to forget.

Nights of Our Lives has been running at the Upright Citizens Brigade for over four years and it’s still going strong! Archived shows are on BreakThru Radio.
